Actually you would use the same tablature (SSSSSSSSSSSsssssssssssssssSSSssSSSsssssSSSS) to play either "Stand By Your Man", "Molly Darling", "Barbara Allen" or "The Death Of Queen Jane" !-----------------It's just a matter of accent, inuendo and/or how much bend and curve you give to the steel. Also what the humidity is that day and whether or not a tornado is passing by at the moment. It's like bending notes on a blues harp----or trying to play "The Typewriter Song", "The Minute Waltz" or "Carmina Burana" on an out-of-tune Dulciola or Autoharp. Marriage?? GOOD LUCK!!

As Joseph Campbell was so fond of saying, "Go forward with the big adventure and joyously participate in the sorrows of your life." Ah, yes, if ya don't have a sense o' humor, it isn't funny. **BIG SMILE**
